Before I begin this narrative I need to say that when I first heard that a Superman pre-history story about Krypton was going to be airing, I had little hopes or expectations for it. That being said, I programmed my DVR and gave it a shot and found it to be surprisingly interesting. Now that all has been said and done in the first season, the second one is on its way and the first full trailer is here to enjoy. Let’s check it out.
The Premise: Krypton follows Superman’s grandfather, Seg-El, whose family, the House of El, has been ostracized and shamed. Seg fights to redeem his family’s honor and save his beloved world from chaos.

Additionally, Doomsday briefly appears in the sixth, ninth and tenth episodes through CGI and it was announced that Nightwing and Flamebird will appear in the 2nd season.
PiercingMetal Thoughts: If you missed the first season, I think that you should give it a shot because like I said I really liked it and wasn’t expecting to. There were a lot of interesting twists and turns in the world that was before Superman landed on Earth and became the Man Of Steel. I will be programming the DVR once more and seeing what happens after the way that the first season ended. Things should be interesting from that alone and as you can see there are some characters you might not have expected to see in a show like this one. See you next time.
